Days Hotel & Suites Sanya Resort received this great honor in part due to its convenient location on Western Sanya Bay. This beautiful location has helped drive the high occupancy rates the hotel has enjoyed since opening in late December 2007. As a brand new, international five-star resort, the local government felt it was the perfect venue to offer first class services to the large contingent of foreign media, government officials, and guests. Another critical factor was the spacious meeting facilities with sweeping ocean views that will provide a perfect backdrop for the press conferences and will present a flattering view of Sanya to the world.

The Olympic Torch relay, with the theme Journey of Harmony, is expected to last 130 days and carries the torch 137,000 km., the longest distance of any Olympic torch relay. The relay will pass through 16 regions and 43 cities, in addition to four communities, with 29 celebration events along the route. The torch will visit cities on the Silk Road, symbolizing ancient links between China and the rest of the world. The relay will also include an attempt to carry the flame to the top of Mount Everest.

Days Hotel & Suites Sanya Resort is situated along the West Southern Tip of Sanya Bay, overlooking spectacular mountains, the beautiful sandy beach and the West Island. The resort is 15 minutes away from the Sanya Phoenix International Airport and downtown.
